831 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

831 East 226th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Wakefield, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Hylton Senior. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with a particularly problematic period in 2020 when several emergency service requests were filed, including complaints about heat and hot water issues, unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, and various problems with doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to the premises to investigate these reported problems, resulting in closed complaints.

More recently, the building has faced compliance issues regarding safety system documentation, with open violations as of April 2024 regarding the absence of required notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as the need to properly display the certificate of inspection visits near the mailboxes. The property has shown some positive developments in recent inspections, including passing rodent inspections in October 2022. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with the most recent report filed in May 2023 covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022, indicating no infestations during that period.

This pattern of reporting suggests attention to bedbug management despite the building's age and historical maintenance challenges. The property has consistently shown compliance with the Annual Bedbug Reporting requirement, with the most recent filing showing no infested or re-infested units. While many historic complaints from 2020 remain unresolved due to access issues, the building's recent history shows improved reporting compliance and fewer documented pest issues, though the open safety violations from 2020 warrant attention.
